About the NFMW

The Na�onal Fund for Municipal Workers (NFMW) has grown to one of largest funds within local government and with a membership base of more than 43 000 throughout South Africa, it is clear that it is the fund of choice.

The fund is a defined contribu�on fund and was established a�er nego�a�ons at Bargaining Council level between the employer and trade unions and is registered in terms of the Pension Funds Act 24 of 1956.

The fund is managed by a Board of Trustees consis�ng of 14 member representa�ves and one employer representa�ve. This means more than 90% of the trustees are members of the fund. We pride ourselves in providing excellent service and the administra�on cost is of the lowest in the industry, this translates to less of our members' contribu�ons towards cost and more towards re�rement savings.

3 Annual report 2015 / 2016

Chairman’s overview

It is always a privilege and an honour to provide you with my overview of the preceding financial year. This year, my review comes with a sense of pride and joy, looking back at what we as a fund have accomplished. The NFMW has undergone major changes to how we operate, as we con�nue to improve on the professional and exclusive service provided to our members.

The investment markets have been extremely vola�le during this period and the Board of Trustees has worked hard to a�ain the maximum return on your investments. I am happy to report that the majority of our members have received more than a 10% return on their investments, which is of the highest returns declared by local government funds for this period.

With our membership having grown to more than 43 000 members, we can operate independently and cut out the cost of expensive consultants. In a defined contribu�on fund, where cost has a direct impact on the members’ re�rement savings, our focus con�nued to be on cost saving and providing a value for money service to our members. The decision to move towards self-administra�on resulted in a reduc�on in the risk cover cost and the administra�on fee to only 0.5% of pensionable salary. Less cost results in more of the monthly contribu�ons being allocated to our members’ re�rement savings.

The funeral benefit was also improved, which means our members and qualifying family members enjoy increased cover from the 1st of July 2016. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, service providers and myself, I would like to extend our sincere condolences to those mem-bers and dependants who have lost loved ones during this period.

On a personal note, my family welcomed our first granddaughter in June this year, this was and s�ll is a true blessing and made me once again realise the importance of family by having their best interests at heart and making sure that they are protected and taken care of. I have also applied this principle in my role as Chairperson in con�nuing to manage this fund in the best interest of each member who forms part of the NFMW family and to provide the benefits and services to assist in making sufficient provision in case the unforeseen happens and ul�mately for re�rement.

Ron Field

Chairperson of the NFMW

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the major contributors, who play an important role in the success of this fund.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees our apprecia�on to our service providers for the quality service and expert advice throughout the year.

May you all have a peaceful fes�ve season and a prosperous 2017.

5 Annual report 2015 / 2016

Principal Executive Officer’s review

It is my pleasure to report that the Na�onal Fund for Municipal Workers has performed excep�onally well over this financial year from both an investment andopera�onal perspec�ve. The year under review has delivered excellent investment returns, excellent growthin membership and a smaller cost structure. I am proud to be associated with such a dynamic fund.

The NFMW u�lises an asset-liability modelling (ILM) process that targets specific future outcomes through an�cipated risk/return profiles and focuses on the longer term commitment of the fund to its members. This is achieved by managing investment risk, based on specific targets. Excellent performance has been achieved over the past years. This is mainly as a result of the strong performing local and interna�onal equity markets, although market vulnerability has remained rela�vely high for certain asset classes. The fund has significantly outperformed its objec�ves over the past three, five and seven years. Even though the last twelve months have been challenging, the fund s�ll managed to outperform its major compe�tors and remains one of the top performing re�rement funds within local government.

In support of the fund’s member reten�on and growth strategy, the provision of flexible product op�ons within the fund, at no addi�onal cost to the members or the employer are con�nuously focused on. These include individual member investment and risk cover choices, which provide members with the flexibility to elect products based on their specific needs.

The fund also offers re�rees the op�on of u�lising the fund’s in-house living annuity as well as an op�on of a life annuity outsourced to Momentum. Both these annui�es are offered at corporate discount rates and are extremely a�rac�ve to re�ring members. Furthermore, members also have the comfort of dealing with the same professional people that they had dealt with while they were employed.

The Board of Trustees is supported by four (4) board sub-commi�ees that assist the board in effec�vely discharging its fiduciary responsibili�es and managing fund strategies. The fund is commi�ed to the highest levels of governance and compliance and to this end, the Execu�ve Commi�ee plays a pivotal role in assuring that excep�onal governance and compliance principles are adhered to.

Sean Samons

Principal Execu�ve Officer

The NFMW supports the code of responsible inves�ng in South Africa (CRISA) in adop�ng the incorpora�on of economic social governance (ESG) factors by local investment managers into the funds’ investment processes.

Effec�ve communica�on with members and pensioners remains a priority for the fund and includes the provision of informa�on to stakeholders. As important is the educa�on of our members on the benefits and op�ons provided by the fund as well as the importance of re�rement prepara�on to ul�mately create sufficient wealth to ensure a comfortable re�rement. To this end the fund has embarked on various new ideas to further enhance the communica�on to the members of the fund.

The fund’s call centres in Pretoria and Bellville complement this strategy by providing advice and assistance to members on fund product op�ons, re�rement planning and general financial assistance. The fund also has full-�me Communica�on Consultants who con�nuously interact with members at induc�on and informa�on sessions. In addi�on, the fund provides members with a new website that incorporates a secure interac�ve site where members are able to view their fund details and values online.

I express my apprecia�on to the Board of Trustees, the sub-commi�ees and specifically the Chairperson Mr. Ron Field for their commitment to the strategic management of the fund and significant value added in ensuring excellence in the areas of compliance, governance and risk management. I also extend my gra�tude to the staff of the office of the Principal Execu�ve Officer for providing the highest standard of management and administra�on.

I further thank our service providers and strategic partners and, in par�cular, our administrator Sanlam, our asset consultant Mosaic Investment Consultants, our Compliance Officer EBS, our actuary Alexander Forbes, our auditor KPMG, our administra�on system provider MIP, our IT support provider OMT and most of all our dedicated staff.

To all par�cipa�ng employers and members for their con�nued loyal support, I express my sincere gra�tude.

The BOARD OF TRUSTEES may withdraw the appointment of the ADMINISTRATOR and appoint a new ADMINISTRATOR.

Reasons for amendments1. The fund is making provision to be a self-administered fund, as well as to delegate some administra�ve func�ons to a registered sec�on 13B benefit administrator.

2. The rules of the fund, in rela�on to the provision of home loans to members, are being amended to align the fund’s rules with the repor�ng requirements of the fund’s auditor in rela�on to the prepara�on of the fund’s annual financial statements. It is the auditor’s stated view that from an accoun�ng requirements point of view, because the complete risk and reward in the provision of home loans to fund members has not transferred from NFMW to RFS Home Loans, the financial statements must reflect those loans RFS Home Loans grants to members, as direct fund home loans. The fund’s rules are therefore being aligned with the auditor’s requirements and recommenda�ons.

The amendment was duly approved and registered by the Financial Services Board.

Annual report 2015 / 2016 12

Annual investment report Execu�ve summary

The fund increased its total assets over the financial year by R2 billion (from R10,12bn to R12,12bn) as

at the end of June 2016. R1,15 billion of this increase is attributed to investment returns and new

inflows came to R855m for financial the year.

The fund performed well in terms of its investment objectives, adding returns well above inflation to

members’ portfolios in the last financial year and providing returns in excess of its investment

objectives over 3-year rolling periods – refer to graph below for portfolio returns.

The fund maintained a well-diversified balanced investment por�olio during the year with this approach protec�ng the fund during �mes of high vola�lity in local and global markets. The fund’s interna�onal assets in par�cular performed well under the difficult market condi�ons.

NFMW

17 Annual report 2015 / 2016

The fund made a number of addi�ons and changes to the asset manager and product line-up during the year:

1. Prescient was appointed as the tac�cal asset alloca�on manager for the Stable Growth, Capital Growth and Aggressive Growth por�olios. Their mandate allows them to ac�vely manage the por�olio overall asset alloca�on to take advantage of short to medium term opportuni�es in equity and bond markets. The mandate also allows them to hedge the currency exposure of the offshore por�olio and protect investors from poten�al losses rela�ng to surprise rand strength while s�ll benefi�ng from rand weakness.

2. Mazi Capital was appointed as the fund’s fourth equity manager near the close of the

financial year. Mazi is a majority black-owned asset manager with more than R30 billion of assets under management. They have an excellent long term track record, an experienced investment team and a robust growth-oriented investment process that should translate into good returns for member por�olios over �me.

3. The Investec Global Franchise Fund was added to the global por�olio to reduce the vola�lity of the global equity component. This fund follows a high-quality investment approach which has proven to be defensive in difficult �mes.

4. Metope was appointed as an addi�onal listed property manager at the �me when a Sec�on 14-transfer was completed between the Na�onal Pension Fund for Municipal Workers and the NFMW. Being one of the top performing listed property managers over many years, Metope is a welcome addi�on to the fund’s asset manager structure, and will also contribute to a lower overall fee structure.

5. New opportuni�es in alterna�ve investments have been iden�fied to further diversify the por�olios and improve long term returns. In the past year, the fund has invested in a development equity fund that finances small to medium community-based businesses and infrastructure projects as well as an African real estate development fund that develops shopping malls in fast-growing economic hubs on the con�nent. Further commitments have been made to exis�ng infrastructure and renewable energy investments and new commitments have been made to an agriculture fund.

6. The fund revised its strategy on Africa assets taking a view on increased risk (commodity downturn and poli�cal risks) during the year. It therefore replaced its Africa equity exposure with good alterna�ves/proxies through exposure in local and emerging market equi�es. However, it kept some Africa exposure mainly in the retail property space by inves�ng in the Novare Africa Property Fund II.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

GlobalThe economic rollercoaster of 2015/2016 made the previous years’ events appear pedestrian as the world economies lurched from one crisis to another and global growth slowed.

Just as the Greek crisis had been averted by the approval of a bailout package with stringent condi�ons, China shook global markets by the sudden and unexpected devalua�on of the yuan in an effort to prop up falling exports and lower wholesale prices. Fears of a Chinese “hard landing” were prevalent throughout 2015 and into 2016 as China’s growth rate con�nued on a downward trajectory while policy makers tried to rebalance the economy from export-driven to consump�on-driven growth. Authori�es pledged their support for the domes�c economy by reducing banks’ reserve requirements and improving access to credit. Growth in the world’s second biggest economy slowed to 6.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2016 – the lowest level in seven years while other countries in the Asia-Pacific region reliant on China’s growth, have also experienced a sharp slowdown in export volume as global trade in general declined. The slowdown in the world’s growth engine con�nues to weigh on commodi�es with prices of iron ore, copper and other bulk materials remaining at or near mul�-year lows despite a rebound in March.

Fears of a Chinese slowdown and excess supply resulted in the oil price plumme�ng to $28.50 in January. It has since recovered to stabilise around $50 per barrel as inventories slowly fell as supply out of Canada and Nigeria was curtailed by wild fires and produc�on issues. The lower oil prices boosted US consump�on expenditure while keeping infla�on stubbornly below the Fed’s target rate of 2%.

Even as the oil price and infla�on remained low, the US Federal Reserve finally got the interest rate hiking cycle underway with a 0.25% increase in the Fed funds rate in December. There was, however, to be no further rate hikes in 2016 (to June) as the slowdown in China, low domes�c infla�on and a number of underwhelming jobs reports gave the Fed reason to pause. The US economy, however, appears to be reasonably robust as earnings and consumer sen�ment remain healthy while manufacturing showed some signs of improving. The stronger dollar unfortunately makes US companies less compe��ve with global peers and the sustainability of the recovery remains a concern to policy makers. While an interest rate hike in June was a dis�nct possibility, Fed Chair Janet Yellen cited the uncertainty created by the late-June “Brexit” vote as a contribu�ng factor in delaying further rate hikes.

Yellen’s stance appeared to be warranted as the UK surprisingly voted in favour of the “Leave” campaign, crea�ng a sense of panic as market par�cipants and the man on the street tried to understand the complex implica�ons of the UK’s exit from the European Union. The surprise result claimed a number of casual�es with Prime Minister David Cameron resigning immediately a�er the results announcement and few poli�cians willing to take his place and face the unenviable task of triggering Ar�cle 50 to start the exit process. While there will no doubt be significant impact on Britain and Europe, the most uncertainty surrounds trade agreements and migra�on rules. It appears that supporters of the “Leave” campaign wanted the best of both worlds – to benefit from EU trade agreements while curtailing the free movement of European labour. EU policy makers meanwhile want the UK to exit as quickly as possible to increase stability in the common monetary area. The EU itself, having to deal with the ongoing refugee crisis and increasing terror threats, con�nues to struggle with slow economic growth and non-existent infla�on and commentators fear that the region is heading for a defla�onary trap. Interest rates meanwhile have dropped below zero in a number of countries including Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark in an effort to s�mulate spending.

Local

The past 12 months have been difficult for local markets as a nega�ve global economic backdrop, a poten�al credit ra�ng downgrade and some unexpected and irra�onal poli�cal decisions (par�cularly “Nenegate” in December) caused extreme vola�lity on the bond, equity and currency markets. The rand traded between R12.26 and R16.88 to the dollar (R19.13 and R24.51 to the pound) through the period before se�ling at R14.76 to the dollar (R19.68 to the pound) at the end of June as the currency was whip-sawed by sen�ment-driven foreign speculators.

While the ra�ngs agencies were somewhat appeased by the appointment of Pravin Gordhan as Finance Minister a�er the surprise sacking of Minister Nene, the country’s deteriora�ng fiscal posi�on remains of concern. Economic growth in the country has all but stalled as the commodity cycle remains weak and domes�c manufacturing con�nues to fall despite the expected boost to exports from the weaker currency. The recent drought affec�ng much of the country has decimated agricultural exports and caused food prices (and general infla�on) to rise with the poor being the hardest hit. As a result of weaker commodity prices and slower growth, unemployment rose to well above 25% while consumer confidence hit recent lows. A series of interest rate hikes did li�le to prevent the currency from deprecia�ng but has had aseries impact on consump�on and indebtness with many creditors in arrears.

Annual report 2015 / 2016 20

Despite the high level of debt, retail sales remained robust un�l recently when new vehicles sales dropped sharply. Affordability in general has decreased as wages have not kept pace with the increased prices of imported goods.

Economic outlook

The normalisa�on of US and global interest rates remains key to economic stability in the medium term. The US economy appears to have stabilised, albeit at a far lower growth rate, but the stability is not guaranteed as a stronger dollar can put pressure on trade with the rest of the world as US products become more expensive. The Federal Reserve has emphasised the reac�onary nature of it’s ac�ons and will likely wait for a sustained improvement in mul�ple data points including employment, housing, wages and infla�on before commi�ng to further interest rate hikes. This process could take longer to unwind than previously expected as uncertainty remains regarding the strength of the main economies.

We expect con�nued vola�lity as the world grapples with the impact of Brexit, slower growth in China and the normalisa�on of global interest rates. When the Fed eventually raises interest rates – at least one hike is s�ll expected in 2016 – equity and bond markets are expected to re-rate and poten�ally suffer losses as the higher cost of borrowing is factored into corporate profitability and company valua�ons. The developed world’s bond markets are likely to see higher long term yields (from record low levels currently) which will result in capital losses from that asset class.

South Africa’s fortunes are inextricably �ed to that of its trading partners the US, EU and China and the prices of commodi�es. With lower global growth expected, commodity prices will likely remain depressed for some �me which will con�nue to put pressure on local mining opera�ons. Fortunately, the weak rand will provide a much-needed boost to domes�c mining and manufacturing opera�ons’ cash flow and large job losses from these companies are unlikely. Domes�c manufacturing, however, remains on the back foot despite the weaker rand (which improves the compe��veness of local products) as labour produc�vity remains low. The excep�on is the motor industry that has boosted exports even as domes�c demand stagnates.

NFMW

21 Annual report 2015 / 2016

Local consumers remain heavily indebted and consump�on is likely to fall further as the prices of imported goods rise and disposable income is spent on necessi�es like food and transport instead. A series of interest rate hikes were halted early in the year as the SARB predicted that infla�on would remain within the target band of 3% to 6% for much of their forecast period. We believe the SARB will keep interest rates at current levels to reduce the pressure on the consumer and s�mulate growth.

In June, the impact of the weak rand was evident as exports surged while expensive imports fell – a good sign for the Government’s current account balance. The credit ra�ng agencies are monitoring developments with the country’s finances for further signs of deteriora�on following their warnings of a poten�al downgrade to junk status earlier in the year. South Africa has un�l year end to effect growth-boos�ng changes to policy and lower the current account deficit.

The ra�ngs agencies have emphasised several key areas that, if improved or sustained, could result in South Africa aver�ng the downgrade. These are:

A growth recovery driven by a stabilisa�on in the electricity supply and fewer interest rate hikes. A stabilisa�on of government debt ra�os, specifically debt-to-GDP, achievable through increased growth and/or reduced expenditure. Ra�ng agencies were somewhat appeased by the most recent budget speech by Minister Gordhan that reiterated Government commitment to spending within its means. Ins�tu�onal integrity, as shown recently by the independence of the monetary and fiscal ins�tu�ons as well as the cons�tu�onal court, must remain intact. Structural reforms to restore consumer, business and investor confidence.

While some aspects have already been addressed to some extent, the local government elec�ons and poten�al changes to cabinet could create increased uncertainty regarding the prospects for reform. Global factors, such as the effects of Brexit, could also hamper the country’s growth prospects and increase the chances of a downgrade in December.

In conclusion, the uncertain economic and poli�cal environment both locally and globally will naturally affect asset prices and the returns on equity and bond markets. We therefore expect modest returns from the equity and capital markets for the remainder of 2016 and into 2017 as global markets slowly come to terms with a world of slower growth, low infla�on, and lower (but possibly rising) interest rates.

Annual report 2015 / 2016 22

Asset class returns: 30 June 2016

The table below indicates the returns of the different asset classes over various periods ending June 2016. With a number of economic and poli�cal setbacks, it is no surprise that local and global markets generated low returns for the period.

For South African investors, global assets and local listed property were the only investments to deliver double digit returns for the past one-year period as the weaker rand boosted the value of global assets. The local listed property market now has a 30% exposure to global assets (foreign property companies) which effec�vely hedges that asset class against rand weakness.

Global equi�es struggled through the year in review with the MSCI AC World Index being down as much as 15% in mid-February (from 1 July 2015) before ending June down just 4.7% for the period. When translated into rand, global equi�es gained 15.1% and contributed meaningfully to por�olio returns. Global bonds gained 11.9% in USD (35.2% in rand) benefi�ng from record low developed market interest rates and low infla�on. Local bonds (+5.2%) underperformed cash (+6.8%) as yields rose on the back of higher domes�c infla�on and worries about a poten�al ra�ngs downgrade while the JSE All Share Index managed a marginally posi�ve return of 3.8% thanks largely to companies with offshore opera�ons. While the returns from local asset classes may seem rela�vely poor, investors must understand that the past year has been characterised by extreme vola�lity and market turmoil as policy makers engage in unprecedented ac�ons to improve demand and s�mulate growth.

Uncertainty surrounding global growth and company profitability remains and we therefore recommend that investors temper their return expecta�ons for the next 5 – 10 years. High double digit returns from domes�c asset classes are highly unlikely and unexpected rand strength could nega�vely impact the returns of global assets in the short to medium term.

The fund maintained a well-diversified balanced investment por�olio during the year with this approach protec�ng the fund during �mes of high vola�lity in local and global markets. The fund’s interna�onal assets in par�cular performed well under the difficult market condi�ons.

The fund’s international managers performed well compared to the local managers as they again

benefited from the rand’s depreciation in the last financial year. During the past 12 months, investors

with more exposure to the “higher risk” asset classes (specifically equities) were not rewarded with

higher returns for taking on additional risk. However, over longer periods we expect the historic

risk-reward relationship to remain intact.

A REVIEW OF FUND PERFORMANCE AND POSITIONING

Capital Protector

The objec�ve of the Capital Protector por�olio is to achieve a real return of 1% p.a. above infla�on

over �me while protec�ng members’ value over all reasonable �me periods. The por�olio’s assets are

primarily invested in an Ac�ve Income mandate managed by Sanlam Investment Management. The

por�olio also has exposure to a small por�olio of securi�sed debt and a conserva�vely-managed

enhanced cash por�olio.

The por�olio returned 7.44% for the one year ending June 2016 as the Ac�ve Income fund benefited

from high yields on short-term money market and bond instruments.

Stable Growth

The Stable Growth por�olio aims to achieve a real return of 2.75% p.a. above infla�on over �me.

Currently the por�olio’s assets are managed by a range of specialist asset managers with the aim to

maximise returns with the minimum amount of risk measured over longer periods of �me.

The Stable Growth por�olio returned 8.47% for the one year to June 2016. The por�olio’s exposure to

high-yielding cash and credit funds (42% of the por�olio) and property added significant value over the

period while protec�ng capital in �mes of market uncertainty. Due to its capital protec�on focus, this

por�olio has no exposure to poten�ally vola�le offshore assets.

Capital Growth

This por�olio has a higher equity alloca�on than the Stable Growth and Protector por�olios and

includes investments in foreign assets. The Capital Growth por�olio aims to achieve a real return of

3.5% p.a. above infla�on over �me. The por�olio’s assets are managed by a range of specialist asset

managers with the aim to maximise returns with the minimum amount of risk measured over longer

periods of �me.

The Capital Growth por�olio returned 11.45% for the one year ending June 2016. The main

contributors to performance were offshore assets that benefited from rand weakness and an

overweight alloca�on to high-yielding domes�c fixed interest funds. The por�olio’s alloca�on to

alterna�ve assets (credit and infrastructure) also contributed meaningfully to returns.

Aggressive Growth

The Aggressive Growth por�olio’s assets are managed by a range of specialist asset managers with the

aim to achieve maximum returns with the minimum amount of risk measured over longer periods of

�me. This por�olio was the best performing por�olio due to having the largest weigh�ng to equi�es

and interna�onal assets. This por�olio is structured with an investment objec�ve of CPI + 4.75% p.a.

The Aggressive Growth por�olio returned 10.58% for the one year ending June 2016. The main

contributors to performance were offshore assets that benefited from rand weakness and the

alloca�on to alterna�ve assets (credit and infrastructure).

Note on performance of Capital Growth vs. Aggressive Growth por�olio: the Capital Growth por�olio

outperformed the Aggressive Growth por�olio by slightly less than 1% due to por�olio posi�oning that

was be�er suited to the uncertain environment. As cash and bonds both outperformed local equity,

the Capital Growth por�olio benefited from a slightly higher bond exposure, a lower equity exposure

and a higher cash exposure through the year.

Shari’ah Por�olio

The Shari’ah por�olio is suitable for investors requiring a Shari’ah-compliant por�olio appropriate for

re�rement schemes and members’ re�rement savings over the long term. The por�olio will be

invested in a wide variety of domes�c and interna�onal asset classes such as equity, sukuks and listed

property, within the constraints of the statutory investment restric�ons for re�rement funds. The

underlying investments will comply with Shari’ah requirements as prescribed by the Accoun�ng and

Audi�ng Organisa�on for Islamic Financial Ins�tu�ons (AAOIFI).

The Shariah por�olio returned 4.21% for the one year to June 2016. Returns were nega�vely impacted

by the por�olio’s exposure to resources shares and the rela�vely low yield offered by local sukuks.

Communication feedback Effec�ve and regular communica�on forms an essen�al part of the day to day responsibility of the fund towards all fund stakeholders. Our objec�ve as the Na�onal Fund for Municipal Workers is to always keep our members informed about what is happening in the fund, educate them so they understand the benefits they enjoy as members, guide and provide them with the necessary tools through ongoing interac�on and equip them to make informed decisions to ul�mately re�re financially sound one day.

With sta�s�cs indica�ng that less than 7% of South Africans can afford to re�re, our main focus for the 2015/2016 financial year was again on striving towards achieving this objec�ve. Our communica�on consultants travelled thousands of kilometers to visit employers through-out South Africa in order to conduct HR training sessions, member informa�on sessions and meet with some of our more than 43 000 members.

With the move towards self-administra�on, we had our work cut out for us towards the end of the financial year, to communicate the various changes. This also presented the opportunity to rebrand the fund and introduce new and innova�ve ways of not just communica�ng, but also educa�ng our stakeholders. This was done through various communica�on mediums and included:

Poster, electronic and sms communica�on were used to communicate the change in contact details. New Category C and A informa�on booklets were produced to include the new benefit improvements. We launched a brand new modern and simpler website www.na�onalfund.co.za, which contains fund benefit informa�on, fund rules and Board of Trustee informa�on. It also provides a secure interac�ve facility where members can view their current fund credit informa�on, investment por�olios, risk cover op�on and beneficiary informa�on. We produced new educa�onal videos to explain the benefits and services provided by the fund. We introduced social media pla�orms (Facebook and LinkedIn) to encourage member interac�on.

The fund believes in constantly measuring the effec�veness of its communica�on and we have received invaluable feedback from our members at the informa�on sessions conducted. Thank you to all the members who a�end these sessions, as it assists us with providing you with the necessary tools to make informed decisions regarding your re�rement savings.
